As veteran, I say this: Fuck all this noise about “sacrifices”. Sacrificing life and limb to protect our “freedoms” is pretty meaningless if the freedoms I’ve potentially sacrificed life and limb for can’t be exercised.

You mean the investigation performed by the legal firm that represents his wife’s family? Oh yeah, that’s real impartial.

Yes, AMC “investigations” of “will we lose more money to keep Hardwick or to get rid of him” 

This isn’t a case of unclarified expectations. She clarified her expectations—explicitly—at least three times. He just didn’t care.

He isn’t on the same par as CK, but this seems pretty fucking clear to me:

Texas?? My home state got it right for once?? Damn. 

Assholes who like to lord over other people seem to be drawn to both groups.

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

Sweet! Hans Zimmer is my favorite composer, and while I enjoyed Gregson-Williams’s score for the first one, can’t wait to see what Zimmer does for the second.

I honestly don’t understand this comment.  

Thank you. It was kind of gibberish to me, but I thought it was my fault.

... empathy from the people that we least deserved it from ...

No, it’s a complete thought, and it’s entirely correct. It’s the same basic interaction that’s helped Daryl Davis get 20 KKK members to hang up their robes and disavow their hatred. He’s indirectly responsible for 200 KKK members walking away from their racism.

Absolutely. Either that, or because it’s a one way exchange, it’s like walking into a unsuspecting room of people:

Letter to Black People:

I wanted to know if it’s possible to be white and conservative without being a bigot or viscous criminal?

I was all set for Dril to turn out to be famous actor Jack Nicholson.
